Chapter 28: Monday after the noisy weekend.
Chapter 28: Monday after the noisy weekend.
Monday after the noisy weekend.
At the end of April, only two weeks left until the midterm exam, and the only ambush, the practical exam, ended last week, and the exam period was completely started.
Like the Seongjin Academy, where learning opportunities and the living space change depending on the grades, all cadets concentrated on their studies during this period and did not waste even their break time.
"Wow. Did you see the news yesterday?”
“I saw it. All three guilds I was aiming for burst… … .”
Today, all the cadets of the Sungjin Academy were in a state of tumult over the weekend accident.
Hwang Hwi-chan, the youngest grandson of Hwang Young Group, took and distributed illegal drugs, and dozens of high-ranking officials and hunters were involved.
This alone was a big accident enough to make up the front page of the news for a few weeks, but there was a real topic of conversation.
“Did you see the picture of Hwang Hwi-chan?”
“He was seriously attacked. Is it a monster?”
“Do you think he would be alive if it were a monster? Of course, it's a demon.”
Hwang Hwi-chan was roughly blown into the city by Kang Yoo-sik.
The destination was in the middle of the street in the downtown area, and Hwang Hwi-chan's look quickly spread to the Internet by the surrounding citizens.
And all sorts of rumors began to pour out like crazy about the incident that couldn't be considered a coincidence.
Demon or Hunter's retaliation for holding a grudge against Hwang Hwi-chan. Assassin from a competitor. A surprise attack from a monster hiding in the city center.
All the stories that could come out came out, and it was the government and Hwang Young Group that got into trouble that started the investigation.
“It's not an ordinary one.”
“How can there be no trace left… … .”
There was no trace of specifying the perpetrator at all, and there was no memory of Hwang Hwi-chan which could be the only clue.
If it's a trace, the stats have been greatly reduced and ‘something' became weaker than before, but it was not enough to specify the perpetrator.
As a result, not only the Seongjin Academy but the whole of Korea was buzzing with an unprecedented incident.
“Haah… … .”
Kang Yoo-sik sighed while walking to Barbell.
As the lunch break is almost over, the cadets move to study for special classes or exams.
Normally, although small talks came and went between them, and normally they forgot it right away,
"Came! to! think! of! yesterday! … .”
"Hwang! Hwi-chan! is! totally! crazy!… .”
The situation has changed a little today.
A vibration sounds like screaming right next to you. That alone would make me tired, but the wind that passes through my body is creepy, and dozens of scents are precisely smelled.
There, the view is open to the far end, and I feel dizzy and gaze looking at me from all sides. Indeed, all senses were in a state of runaway, and the reason was simple.
‘No way it's such a tricky skill.'
What Kang Yoo-sik knows about cognitive maximization is a skill that amplifies many senses. That was just that.
This is because I had never seen but Cha Si-hyun and I had never heard it before returning.
So I just thought that I would feel better, but the moment he returned Cha Si-hyun and lay down in bed, Kang Yoo-sik immediately realized that his thoughts were wrong.
‘No way I can hear the sound beyond the two cells… … .’
It would have been different if the walls between the rooms were thin and shabby, but it was a silver class dormitory, the soundproof was perfect.
But you hear the sound through two such walls. It was at least three times amplified.
‘When I was in a fight with Kim Jin-hyuk… … Whoo.’
In terms of specs, Kang Yoo-sik was much more advantageous thanks to the explosive growth over the weekend, but he couldn't fight properly because he was trying to get a sense of runaway.
If I was hit properly only once, it would have been tremendously painful enough to roll the floor.
‘I think I know why they said that there was no need for one… … .’
Cognitive maximization alone is this much, but there is also a tuner, a similar skill set.
Kang Yoo-sik didn’t know what to say in unimaginable pain, and in the meantime, he arrived at Babel Tower.
"Good morning."
"Ah yes. Good morning."
Kang Yoo-sik, who lightly greeted the school director's daughter, bookkeeper Yoon Hee-jin, who was sitting at the desk. And he went over the gate with a cadet card.
Then he got on the elevator with the door open.
"Excuse me."
As if waiting, Sihyun Cha followed him.
“?!”
At the sudden appearance, Kang Yoo-sik looked with his eyes wide open, and Cha Si-hyun casually pressed the button on the 15th floor.
Woo–.
The elevator went up smoothly and a subtle atmosphere was created between the two.
In that awkward situation, Kang Yoo-sik thought about what to do for a while, then talked to him first.
"long time no see."
Actually, they met yesterday, but publicly, there was no contact during the weekend, so it was a normal greeting. In response, Cha Si-hyun turned his head and replied with an expressionless face as usual.
"Yes. It's been a long time since then.”
"That… … Is there anything big about yesterday?”
Now that the pledge has disappeared, it has nothing to do with Hwang Young Group, but as he was next to Hwang Hwi-chan until yesterday, he may be involved in annoying things.
Cha Si-Hyun replied calmly to Kang Yoo-sik's question.
“I was investigated for a while in the morning, but it was determined that I was not relevant and was released. And since I also submitted a letter of resignation, I will not be involved with Hwang Young Group in the future.”
It proved unrelated to Hwang Hwi-chan's case, and the relationship with Hwang Young Group was liquidated there.
For the time being, Hwang Young Group will be watching her, but if she’s careful in the meantime, there will be no big problems.
"Well. I See."
Kang Yoo-sik nodded to the answer, and Cha Si-hyun turned his head back as if that was the end.
Kang Yoo-sik gave a slightly strange look to the back that seemed to be nothing different than before.
‘What was it yesterday?'
Usually, when all the debts are paid, even a person who was saved from drowning changes his mind and just turns his head aside.
That is why it is absolutely impossible to rise to Grade A again after using up all your debts.
‘No, it was impossible.'
It's still unbelievable, but yesterday, Cha Si-hyun was surely exhausted his debts, and then went back to class A.
Kang Yoo-sik pondered because it was the first time in his life, including before the return.
‘The possibility is… … There are two things.'
The first is that because the maximum debt grade is Class A, all the debts in Cha Si-hyun’s mind were not indicated.
The second is that gratitude towards me is hardened like concrete, so no matter how much her debt decreases, it stays at Class A.
Either way, it was something I had never imagined, and I wondered if it would really be possible.
‘… … Let’s look at the collection list.’
With the know-how found through the use, you can roughly find out the debtor's status by looking at the recommendation of abnormality in the collection list.
Kang Yoo-sik, who decided to take a look, immediately checked Cha Si-hyun’s collection list.
[Cha Sihyun]
* Stats: strength, agility, durability, spell power
*Skills: Shadow walk (S), soundproof (A)… ….
* Unawakened Skills: Universe Network (S), Spider's stigma (S)… ….
* Abnormal condition: Increased endurance (recommended), decreased dependence (recommended)… ….
“… … ?”
Kang Yoo-sik made a puzzled expression when he came to the recommendation.
Dependence might be able to rely on it a little because I helped her a lot, but why is the endurance increased and what is she enduring with?
When Kang Yoo-sik, who fell into more doubts while trying to find out something, had a confused expression.
Bing–!
The elevator arrived on the 15th floor, and the door opened. Cha Si-Hyun took a quick step down and went to the lecture hall.
Kang Yoo-sik saw the appearance and reflexively called Cha Si-hyun.
“Cha Si-hyun.”
“… … .”
At Kang Yoo-sik's call, Cha si-hyun’s body hardened, and he looked back with an expressionless face again.
“Do you have anything to say?”
"Well… … .”
Kang Yoo-sik, who was thinking about how to speak for a moment, said softly with a slightly awkward smile.
“If you have any trouble, please tell me anytime.”
“… … .”
Cha Si-hyun's eyes widened slightly, and soon she answered with a more rigid expression than before.
“I will remember. If you need any help, please feel free to tell me as well… … .”
After saying that, Cha Si-hyun quickly went straight to the lecture room, and Kang Yoo-sik, who saw the back, stroked his chin with a strange expression.
‘Well… Could this be okay?’
I'm not sure what she’s holding, but the dependence is quite high, so she'll come to consult if it's difficult.
The moment Kang Yoo-sik decided to watch until then and got out of the elevator, one thing suddenly came to his mind.
‘As I think about it, can't I just learn cognitive maximization from Cha Si-hyun?'
The memory of cognitive maximization may have disappeared due to the collection, but the tuner that is a similar and unique skill to it still remains, so the related know-how may still be left.
Kang Yoo-sik, who decided to ask once the opportunity arises, headed to the measurement room called by Nam Gung-ryun instead of the total lecture room.
“Woo… … .”
There was no Nam Gung-ryun as he had not arrived yet, and Kang Yoo-sik sat on an empty sofa and waited for a while.
And 5 minutes later. Nam Gung-ryun, with his gloomy eyes, opened the door and entered with a drowsy step.
“Come… … .”
Splatter!
All the papers in his hand fell to the floor.
"you… … you… … .”
Nam Gung-ryun stutters while shaking his hands with his eyes wide open. I have seen many people surprised by looking at me many times, but it was the first time that it was so violent.
“What’s wrong?”
"no… … you… … why… … Whoa… … Whoa… … .”
Nam Gung-ryun, feeling the constant twisting of her words, took a breath and pulled out the questions that filled her head one by one.
“What happened in one week?”
At Nam Gung-ryun's question that he couldn't believe, Kang Yoo-sik realized the reason and made a grim expression.
I didn't intend to hide it, but he recognized it right away. He could know how amazing the leader’s insight was.
‘Besides, it has gone up too much.'
This weekend, Kang Yoo-sik's status window, which sucked Hwang Hwi-chan to the bone marrow, rose to an incomparable degree.
[Kang Yoo-sik]
Strength: 132 Agility: 125
Durability: 136 Spell Power: 138
Unique skill:'creditor'
Skills: Cognitive Maximization (S), Twin Tempest (A), Multi-casting (A), Lightning Chain (B), Naturalization window(B), Shadow Snake (B), Invincibility (D+), Magic Array… ….
The total number of stats increased by collection is 531!
It has grown to a level of the diamond class by surpassing the average of the gold class of 400, and in the process, the Invincibility has risen one step higher to D+.
Besides, He obtained 4 more skills which are S-class skill maximization acquired from Cha Si-hyun, and A-class twin tempest, Multi-casting, and B-class lightning chains collected from Hwang Hwi-chan.
It was just another person from Namgungryun's point of view who saw him a week ago.
‘It can't be… … a different person. Because the leader is at stake. But this growth… … .’
For the first time in his life, when he saw Kang yoo-sik, doubts arose in his own skill, the “leader”.
How can a guy who has grown up like a monster over the weekends look like a dull talent?
‘I … I don't know… … .’
Kang Yoo-sik thought about how to talk about it to Namgung-ryun's who kept groaning, and then explained it simply.
“Isn’t it because I’m growing?”
“… … .”
It looks like he talks really casually. Nam Gung-ryun saw that expression and looked at him with a ridiculous expression.
This is because although there are cases in which the hunter grows differently from day to day, Kang Yoo-sik's case has exceeded that level.
‘… … If we maintain this growth rate.’
Although that's impossible, hasn't Kang Yoo-sik done such things?
So Nam Gung-ryun naturally imagined the future.
“… … You are like a monster.”
He muttered with sincerity.
